Representative Moffatt.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Representa-
tive Seth c. Moffatt, of Michigan, died
at the Providence hospital at 80 this
morning frombloOd poisoning, superin-
duced by malignant carbuncle. His
illness did not assume serious phase
until three days ago, when he was re-
moved from his hotel to the hospital.
Just before his removal Mr.. MOffatt
became deleIiOus and never recovered
his faculties or rallied from the attack.
Owing to the interruption of the tele
graph his wife, who was in Traverse
City, Mich, could not be notified of her
husbands illness until Tuesday night,
so that he was not able to reach Wash
ington in time to be present at his death.
The members of the Delta Kappa Ep-
silon society, of which he was mem
Der, will take appropriate action upon
his death. The remains will be taken
to Traverse City, Mich, the home of
the deceased, when his wife arrives in
Washington.

persons. Mr.. Frank said Cohnfeld was
in constant communication with several
business men in this city. If the chief
of police of Detroit had returned those
bonds to the Olson woman, he did so be-
cause those who levied an attachment
ON them were unable to give the neces-
sary security. The gOverness spoken of
in the case as Mrs. Fenner was not a
Mrs. but Miss. She did not leave the
city with Mr.. Cohnfeld, but followed
after with the children. An attorney Of
this city who secured an attachment on
the bonds in the hands of the Detroit
authorities, declares that his client, who
is creditor of Cohnfeld, will take ac-
ton against the authorities of Detroit
for giving them back to the woman.
